Grinnell College CS Department
TEACHING ASSISTANT/MENTOR | August 2017 - December 2017
During my Fall Senior Semester, I mentored the Computer Organization/Architecture (CSC 211) course at Grinnell College. This involved helping students with lab-work during class time and hosting a mentor session every other week to help students prepare for course assessments.
GLIMMER Labs
STUDENT RESEARCHER | May 2017 - August 2017
With GLIMMER labs I worked with a team of 6 to design and teach curriculum for two coding camps for youth in Poweshiek County, IA: Craft of Code and Data Science for Social Good. The Craft of Code curriculum was taught using a variety of block-based languages including Scratch, Beetle Blocks, and TurtleStitch and provided opportunities for elementary school kids to express their creativity using algorithms and computational thought processes. The Data Science for Social Good camp focused on moving middle schoolers from block-based languages (BlockPy) to text based languages (Python) through the lens of Data Science.
Both camps were designed to increase the self-efficacy of young computer scientists. This development in the campers was measured using pre and post surveys. I was personally tasked with running the data analysis on our survey results. I co-wrote a paper on the Data Science for Social Good camp results that has been submitted to SIGCSE 2018.
We were also tasked with developing and implementing a protocol to analyze the representation of underrepresented groups in tech in various coding camps across the United States.
